Critical Habitat by Terrence King is an enthralling and action-packed dystopian novel that explores themes of survival, resistance, and the resilience of the human spirit. Set in a post-war society, the story follows two young rebels, X and Y, as they navigate the treacherous landscape ruled by the heartless 'Authority' camp led by General Speer.
 
One of the most captivating aspects of the book is King's skillful world-building. The post-war society is vividly depicted, with the 'Authority' camp's oppressive rule dominating the lives of the citizens.
 
The characters in Critical Habitat are well-developed and relatable. X and Y, the two rebel children who manage to steal a crucial device from the 'Authority', are resilient and resourceful protagonists. Likewise, the character of Mel, a prisoner forced to infiltrate the rebel camp, adds depth and suspense to the narrative.
 
The old man named Sun Bin was my favorite character in the book. I admired his wisdom and the profound sayings he shared. One particular saying that resonated with me was, "Concern of the strength of others is weakness; mastering of oneself is wisdom." Sun Bin possessed a gentle yet formidable presence, commanding respect from those around him. His wise words were scattered throughout the book, enriching its content and providing a well-rounded finish that left me enlightened.
 
The pacing of the story is excellent, with each chapter ending on a cliffhanger that keeps the reader eagerly turning the pages. The author skillfully balances intense action sequences with quieter, reflective moments, allowing the reader to catch their breath and develop a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations and struggles.
 
King's writing style is fluid and engaging, making Critical Habitat a highly enjoyable read. The prose is descriptive without being overly verbose, immersing the reader in the gritty world of the story. The dialogue is sharp and realistic, adding authenticity to the interactions between the characters.
 
One minor aspect worth mentioning is the book's professional editing, which is evident throughout. While there may be a few minor errors, they do not detract from the overall reading experience and are easily overlooked. Overall, I found nothing to dislike about this book.
 
In conclusion, Critical Habitat is a captivating and well-crafted dystopian novel that will keep readers hooked from beginning to end. Terrence King's skillful world-building, compelling characters, and fast-paced narrative make for an exhilarating reading experience. I highly recommend this book to fans of the dystopian genre and anyone seeking an exciting and thought-provoking story. Critical Habitat deserves a full rating of five out of five stars.

Reading this book reminds me how leaders hide the truth for their own personal gain…but once people are enlightened with knowledge about certain aspects they tend to see it differently. This read definitely keeps you on your toes and wanting to read more. Happy reading!

The dystopian novel "Critical Habitat" by Terrence Kin sounds like an interesting and innovative book. With the main protagonists being youngsters named X and Y stealing from the ‘Authority’ and their arch-nemesis, General Speer, aiming to do them in, it sounds like an extraordinary read! To add to the readers pleasure there is a character named Sun Bin who seems like a cross between Lao Tzu and Sun Tzu. Thank you so much for the insightful and thorough review, this sounds like an exciting book!

[Damian Keyes]

Books set in a dystopian world are usually not my favorite type of reading material. Especially, when our real world is not operating at its full potential with wars, social injustice, and poverty happening. I'm going to make an exception for this book and give it a try because the characters are fighting back against this system to restore the world back to what it was pre-war.
